Fort 4 Fitness Packet Pick UP
Hi all -
Doing the Fort 4 Fitness on 9/26/15? If so, consider joining us as we caravan to Parkview field. We will meet near the gas station at the WalMart Parking Lot at 4:00 on Friday 9/25/15 and promptly depart. We will drive to the Catholic church immediately south of 469 and rendez-vous with some others (about 4:35). You can meet us in either location - please just let me know which one so we can plan the carpool and caravan appropriately.
We will proceed to the stadium where we will pick up our packets, shop the vendors, enjoy the free goodies at the health fair/race expo, and watch some of the seniors and kids marathoners finish the race. Additionally, if you are new to the race, I'll happily show you where you can park, meet up with friends/family, go to the restroom, and point out the start and finish lines, etc.
After the expo, we will travel to Zianos on Convington and carb up as we fellowship together and enjoy the pre-race party!
We should arrive back in town by about 9:00 p.m. If you plan to join us, I HIGHLY recommend that you set out ALL of your gear and EVERYTHING you will want (socks, shoes, shirt, shorts, long sleeve shirt, hat, sweat band, body glide, gum, water bottle, kleenexes, chapstick, change of clothes, money, etc!) for the race on Thursday night so that all you have to do when you get home on Friday night is pin on your bib number and hit the hay.
If you are planning to join us, please email no later than TUESDAY THE 22ND (so that I can make reservations for the exact number) me letting me know:
1. where you will meet us (Walmart or Catholic church)
2. are you coming for just the packet pick up or just the dinner or both
3. are you driving separately or riding with me or willing to drive if we need an extra car
Hope you'll join us for this very fun celebration!

Meet at School tomorrow
Should I change the name of our group to Summer Paddling or Summer Swimming....it's certainly been a challenging summer weather wise.
Because the greenway was flooded a bit yesterday afternoon and I can only guess it's even more so now after last night and this morning's rains, let's plan to meet in between the middle school and high school (by the main football stadium gate) for tomorrow's session.
Depending on the conditions, you can vote to walk a big loop (stogdill to the elementary school over to the armory and back to the high school) plus 1 time around the middle school OR if there are too many flooded side walks, you can elect to take big laps around the schools parking lots. The goal will be to walk for 35 minutes. I know you can do it!
I'm sorry I won't be there, but I'm very confident you'll be amazing! Remember to have good posture:
1, puppet on the string
2. zip up your abs
3. shoulders down, back, and relaxed
Have fun (I'll see you in a week) -
